j. w. Hammond, E. W. Whitcomb
and G. F. Miller rode out to G. P. Or
gan's ranch yesterday, and, speaking after
the manner of men, CLEANED out the she
bang" They purchased over 100 Wyo-
ming bred Hereford cattle, which will be
turned loose on their Belle Fourche and
Cheyenne river ranches, and will prove of
inestimable value to the cattle business in
that region and eventually in the entire
territory. The animals will be started for
the range in a few days. They will be
driven slowly and will reach the country
for which they are intended about the
latter part Of July. Such action on the
part of our large stockgiowers is very
commendahle, to say the least, but as one
of them remarked to a reporter, they will
lose nothing by it"

A Renewal of the Boom.

This heading may appear in direct con
tradiction to the facts in the case when it
is mentioned that but two instruments
were disposed of in the county clerks
Office yesterday. The considerations were
large, the purchasers were Nebraska par
ties, and the property choice. The first
transaction was the sale by Robt. b.
Horrie and wife to Ed Cert, Lincoln, Neb.,
of three houses and two lots on the corner
of Eighteenth street and Capitol avenue,
in what is known as Cottage Row. The
residences are at present occupied by ex.
Secretary Morgan, Special Land Agent
Fry and G. NJ. Larsh respectively. The
price named is $lS, 500"
The other trade eclipsed anything that
has occurred in the real estate line for
several days. The property is in South.
east Cheyenne and comprises in part the
tract known as Burlington Heights. 1t
was sold by John Hess and wife to VIM.
dealer. The description is as follows: Lot
| in section 80, township IA; section Z,
township 10; lots 8, 6 and I and the
southeast quarter of the southwest quarter
of section 6 in township ID 156 IT lOOths
acres; the south half Of the southeast
quarter and the northwest quarter of the
southeast quarter of section 6, township
10. III Ito; the east half and the north
west quarter of section 80, township IA,
4S0 acres; southwest quarter of section 33,
township IA, and lots 2 and 8 of section
80, township IA, except the southwest
quarter of the southwest quarter of section
80, and that portion OF lot 3, of section 80,
lying north Of the Union Pacific railway.
Consideration, $50,
The above sales prove conclusively that
outside parties are fully cognizant of the
fact that Cheyenne is the coming metropo-
lis of the West, and propose to profit by
their knowledge. Verify, the Cheyenne
& Burlington road will be a great thing
for the town.

The celebrated ~tragedienne whose name
appears above was a coast bound passen-
ger on last evening 5 train. The madame
is known in private life as the Countess
Besanto and is the pet of New York So
ciety and one Of the most prominent stage
lights of to-day. The lady was accom-
panied by her husband and manager,
Count Besanto. and two lady members of
her company. The party will %sojourn at
Los Angeles several weeks and together
with the remainder of the company will
play a short engagement at San Francisco,
after which they will return East, appear
ing at the Cheyenne opera house some
time this fall. After lunch at the Pacific
last evening the countess and her husband
amused themselves by playing a game Of
catch with oranges, the actress appear
ing to be in the best of spirits, in fact she
acted rather kittenish. Mme. Modieska
is stout, about medium height and a de-
cided brunette, full-taced and pleasant.
She was dressed in an ordinary travelling
costume OF dark brown.

Proposed Laramie Co ,pty J,I,.

1t goes without saying that the prime
need of this county for the past year has
been a new Jail. At the present date we
need it worse than ever. When Laramie
county wants anything it is forthcoming
If money can buy it and the article can
stand the climate. That jail is coming
right along. Preliminary plans are now
being drawn for the structure, which, it is
stated on pretty good authority, will be
isolated from the present site of the
county bastile, although when first con-
templated it was suggested that the build
ing be erected just east of the court house,
and that the present Jail rooms be con.
verted into Offices. While this plan was
feasible, on second thought it was con.
cluded that the better plan would be to
separate the two buildings, as is the
case in several large Eastern cities. With
this end in view Mr.. Matthews and one of
our county commissioners will next week
depart on a tour to inspect several of the
best iails and court houses in the country
in order that the Laramie county Jail may
be as good, if not little better than any
of them. With such a competent man as
Architect Matthews and one of our practi
cal commissioners the style of architect
ure cannot fail to please all. -

rHE BODY FOUND.
The supposed Corpse of Richard Rice
Discovered In the Platte River.

Richard Rice suddenly and mysteri.
ously disappeared from a ranch eighteen
miles below Fort Laramie, about three
months ago. Last week Edwin Everett,
Robert Sanderson, David Lewis and
Jennie Berry, the latter a former mistress
of Rice's, were, for the most part on
circumstantial evidence, indicted for the
murder of the missing man. Yesterday
they were arraigned in the district court,
pleaded not guilty, and their trial set for
the 9th of the present month. Ever
since the Incarceration of the suspected
murderers it has been hoped and ever
expected that one of the number would
make a confession, and hat in this man
ncr the ends of justice would be served
and much trouble and expense to the terri
tory and county avoided. But the prisoners
we're very reticent, refusing to say more
than was absolutely necessary, and main
tanning a stolid silence when the subject of
the death of p or Rice was preached.
Last evening news reached the city
that what was supposed to be the body
of Richard Rice had been found on
a sandbar in the Plato river
about twenty miles east of Fort Laramie,
and only two miles from the ranch where
the murdered man was last seen. The
description of the body as to height and
general appearance exactly fitted that of
Rice, and there is but little doubt that
the corpse is hat of the man which the
Laramie county authorities have made
such %unsparing efforts to discover.
The shoes and clothing of Rice we're
found at the ranch where the murder was
supposed to h ave been committed. The
remains of the man, washed up by tho
muddy current and treacherous eddies of
the Platte, were covered only with a
pair of soldiers trousers, held in place by
a worthless belt. Unfortunately part of
the body is badly ~decomposed, and a
great part of the flesh has been gnawed
from the now useless bones by fishes, max
recognition next to impossible. 1t was not
learned whether the body bore any marks
of violence, but as the coroner will leave
for the scene this morning it will o be
known in what manner the unfortunate
hoater met his death.
Should this find prove to be the body
OF Richard Rice, and of this there can be
little doubt, the punishment of the
guilty parties will be greatly facilitated,
and what at first appeared to be a well
planned and mysterious murder will de-
vclop into an awkward and brutal ~assassi-
nation.

The case of the Territory We. Edwin
Everett, Robert Sanderson, David Lewis
and Jennie Berry, first received the atten-
ton of Judge Maginnis. The defendants,
who are accused of the murder Of Richard
Rice, near Fort Laramie, several months
ago. pleaded not guilty, were returned to
jail and their trial set for the 9th inst.
Edward Curran indicted for perjury
claimed to have been committed during
his trial as an accessory before the fact in
the Trumbull murder case, will be tried on
the 2lst. Frank Ketchum indicted on
the same charge, will answer on the 10th.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty in
the case of the Territory VS.. Thomas
Kane, charged with forgery, and he will
probably serve a term for his familiarity
with another mans name.
Mccoy, the murderer OF Chas. Gum,
will be tried for that offense on the 9th
inst. A full account of the crime has APP
peared in these columns, and as the case
has excited public interest our readers can
expect tn see all particulars of the trial
when it occurs.
At noon yesterday court adjourned until
9 o'clock this morning.

FOR THE DEAF MuTEs.
A Brief Description of the Territorial
Deaf and Dumb Institute,

The territorial deaf and dumb institute,
for the erection of which au appropriation
was made by the last Legislative assembly,
was commenced yesterday under the direc-
ton of Architect Matthews. While not
a massive or pretentious structure it will
be well built and will fully answer the pur-
poses for which it was intended.
The building will be two and one half
stories high, it being thirty-seven feet
from the concrete foundation to the apex
of the ventilator, the only ornament
grazing the roof. The first story will be
of brick and the remainder the pretty style
called ~"shingled." The edifce itself is to
be 53x35 feet in area and so situated in
the block which it occupies that none of
its beauty or usefulness will be lost by the
erection of other buildings for the same
purpose in its vicinity. On the first floor
will be a large school room facing south,
surrounded by a parlor, an Office and the
kitchen and dining room of the institution,
together with two wash rooms.
IN oeVonu hooE Will DC occupied by
domitories for the boys and girls, rooms
TOR the matron and female teachers, the
principals room and a bath room. The
attic will be partitioned into rooms for the
servant and others in case the institution
becomes crowded.
The school will not be opened until
twelve pupils have beeu secured. De
Ceursey French, who will probably be
principal of the institute. says that it will
be put in operation as o as the build
ing is completed, which will be October l,
and more room will be needed inside OF
two years. The structure will cost IS, 900,
and like all public buildings in the terri
tory will be well worth the price paid.

The Illness Of Mrs. James whitney.

Mr.. Frank Bon last evening received a
letter from s. Bon, Jr., who, together
with his mother was called to the bedside
of the sister and daughter who was sup
posed to be dying at Bright's ranch on
the Laramie river. The letter brings the
welcome intelligence that while Mrs.
Whitney was very low she has the best of
attendance and may yet recover. s. Bon,
Jr., and his mother will probably return
tomorrow if the sick one continues to i'm
prove. News of her recovery would be
ioyfully received by her numerous friends
in this city, the home of her childhood.

VIII They BE Leased


Hon. NJ. N. Grant, territorial auditor
of Wyoming, has written the secretary
Of the interior to know if the lands set
aside for the university, under the act OF
congress, all Of which have now been Sc
lected by Mr.. F. o. Sawin, can be
leased to parties desiring the same, As
these lands comprise the best tracts that
had not been taken up by settlers it is
probable that there will be a great many
applications FROM parties to lease them, if
they can do SO.
